This little beast may be a little expensive but please consider the use of it in situations that seem priceless. :) Hey it's for my own perosnal protection for Pete's sake!

I bring it along for my usual evening jogs. Mostly to ward off dogs but yesterday seemed to be a very unfortunate day or is it? Please pardon my sadist self for today. Our topic is of course self defense.

I used it on some pesky dogs that were chasing me. Yes the dogs did squirm back to where they belonged but to my surprise, I was not aware of the wind that was blowing to my direction. You guess it. The spray was blown back to my face.

Now having pepper sprayed for the first time. It's one feeling that I'll never forget. It burns especially in the eyes and the only cure is by washing my eyes under cold running water for a good 10 minutes.

Lesson learnt: Never spray pepper spray against the wind. And by the way, you can reach your target as far as 2 meters.

My verdict; American Defender is the perfect legal weapon for yourself if you happen to come across the "evil".

Stay tuned for the next review. The steering wheel lock. Now how could a lock be a legal weapon in Malaysia? That you'll have to wait til next week. Like what the elders would say, " Anything can be a weapon depending on how you swing it".
